Aliens vs. Predator Swarm Map Pack Coming March 18th

Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator is about to get its first round of downloadable content. Sega barked out orders late yesterday stating that the Swarm map pack will be hitting Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC all together on the 18th of March. It'll cost you 560 Microsoft Points or $6.99, platform depending.

Featuring 4 new maps for different multiplayer modes, previously only available in the Special Editions, this downloadable content will challenge all 3 species for the fight of their existence.

The new Survivor maps are called Outpost and Hive, while the new multiplayer maps are known as Docks and Machine. It's worth noting that this content was previously available to those who picked up the special editions of the game at launch.

Ouch - my hair!

Bryn says: I know that opinions on the game have been split right down the middle, but I've personally really been enjoying the PC version. I'm even digging the single-player campaigns, which seem to have garnered the most criticism in the media. Perhaps it's because I've always been a fan of the franchise, but even I'll concede that the AvP movies are pretty weaksauce.
